Elohim ~ Alpha Blondy (Ivory Coast)
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
Alpha Blondy’s eighth
recording on Shanachie, features his sinuous, reedy vocals on a compelling set
of originals that deal with the struggles and sobering realities of life and
themes of love. Such songs as "Journalists En Danger (Democratie)," "Take No
Prisoner" (which deals with the slaughter in Sudan, "Dictature (Dictator)" and
"Les Voleurs De La Republique (Thieves Of The Republic)" pull no punches.

CD
The best live reggae recording since Bob Marley and the Wailers Live.
This two CD live recording captures Alpha Blondy and his band at their best.
Alpha Blondy surrounds himself with a great reggae rhythm group but also horns
and voices. ( A listener from Highland Park, IL United
States)
Apartheid Is Nazism
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy
This is a
life-changing album. Quite literally one of the best albums I have ever heard
in any genre. I am about to buy my 3rd copy -- I have given the other two away.
This time I'm keeping it! ( a listener from from Tamuning, GU USA

Yitzhak Rabin
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy
"Yitzhak
Rabin" is infused with the same spirit as Blondy's other albums. It's great
music with a message, delivered as only the power of righteous reggae can. This
is Rasta spirit exemplified, but you don't have to be a Rasta to appreciate
Blondy's beats and humanistic views. ( A music fan from New York, NY United
States )
Masada
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy
Blondie's 8th
album sparkles with fluid melodies, luscious riffs and his wistful, plaintive
voice singing in Dioula, French nd English. Particularly gripping tracks
include Rendez-vous, desert Storm, Peace In Liberia and the incredibly
beautiful Sciences sans Conscience and Ca Me Fait Si Mal with their singalong
melodies and hypnotic rhythms. ( a listener from Johannesburg - South Africa
)

Live Au Zenith [Paris]
[LIVE]
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy
This is one
of my favorite reggae albums, one of my favorite live albums, and just one of
my favorite albums. The album opens with an intro, a man pumping up the
Parisian audience for Blondy's appearance on stage; this is followed by a
musical intro and then Blondy himself. The tracks blend together well, and the
overall flow of the album really makes me feel as if I was there or had seen
the show. ( Justin Martin from Weaverville, CA United States
)
Dieu
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy And The Solar
System
Great reggae mixed with tuneful pop mixed with African overtones.
Blondy really combines the styles well and brings it altogether with his voice
and talent. This was my first taste of Alha Blondy. It was sweet to hear it as
well as to experience it while in his native land and to taste a bit of what he
is cooking. ( A music fan from Milwaukee, Wisconsin )
The
Best of Alpha Blondy [Shanachie]
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Alpha Blondy
This CD is
melodious and smooth. It starts off with a pop kind of tune, but it gets more
deep as the CD progresses. It is the kind of album that builds momentum as it
goes along. It makes you yearn to know exactly what he's talking about, because
he has such passion behind his lyrics. The last three songs are classics, and
can be played over and over again without getting tired. This is a must have
for any collection. ( A music fan from Los Angeles, CA United States
)
